These are the words of Josh Steiber who, at 21 years old, has undertaken a journey of self-discovery that has led him from a tour of duty in the Iraq "surge" to walking the streets of America in search of peace.
After returning from a 14 month tour in Iraq, Josh began to realize that he could no longer live by the military ideology that he had been taught since childhood. In 2009, Steiber was granted the status of Conscientious Objector and refused to return to war. A Journey for Peace Now, Josh Steiber is at the beginning of a walk across the country, from his hometown in Maryland to California, spreading his message of peace and nonviolence. Recently, he came through Massachusetts to visit a number of organizations, peace activists, and supporters of his cause. Throughout his journey, Steiber will be using his combat pay from Iraq, totalling around $30,000, to donate to organizations that are working towards peace and justice.  |
